Hello all,
How do I send myself an end of day summary of holdings and results? To the log for the backtest, then to email for Live?
Thanks!

Thank you for that tip on email. Is there a way of entering "If this is live, use this email call, otherwise use a debug call?"
Just for keeping track of things during the backtest, I did the following. I scheduled a function to run after the market closed with -10 as the minutes BeforeMarketClose. This did turn out to run at 4:10 every day:
self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("SPY"), self.TimeRules.BeforeMarketClose("SPY", -10), self.ReportAfterMarketClose)Then, I found the positions by checking all of the tickers I knew might be there through:
# send info after market close def ReportAfterMarketClose(self): self.Debug("ReportAfterMarketClose fired at: {0}".format(self.Time)) hList = ["XLB", "IYZ", "XLY", "XLP", "XLE", "XLF", "XLV", "XLI", "IYR", "XLK", "XLU", "SPY"] for tkr in hList: shs = 0 try: shs = self.Portfolio[tkr].Quantity except: pass price = self.Securities[tkr].Price if shs != 0: #self.Debug(tkr + " shs: " + str(shs) + " value: " + str(shs * price)) #self.Debug("".format tkr + " shs: " + str(shs) + " value: " + str(shs * price)) self.Debug("{} shs: {:,.0f} value: {:,.2f}".format(tkr, shs, shs * price)) self.Debug("Cash: {0:,.2f}".format(self.Portfolio.Cash)) self.Debug("PV: {0:,.2f}".format(self.Portfolio.TotalPortfolioValue)) returnThis is a pretty horrible solution. Among other things, I could not figure out how to iterate through the portfolio directly! Is there a list of self.Portfolio calls that are available?

Please check out the Live Trading section of the documentation. For the scheduled event timing - 10 minutes before market close would be 3.50; -10 minutes before market close is 4.10.
